Overview

-Methylstyrene is an aromatic alkyl-substituted styrene monomer with a relatively high boiling point. It is widely used as a monomer to synthesize thermoplastic composite resins applied in adhesives, and coatings that require high-temperature stability. It can also participate as a precursor in regioselective and diastereoselective synthesis of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and other structurally diverse compounds.
